Chapter 274: Warning the Protectorate!
"It's fine"
Zhangchou Jianqiong suddenly started chuckling, and he waved his hands to gesture to Wang Gen that it was fine
"So, Wang gongzi is interested infrom a military clan wouldn't be interested in theinto contact with such matters noill be useful for you in the future anyway"
As expected of a Protector-General, Zhangchou Jianqiong was able to dispel the aardness of the situation with just a feords
"Indeed! I've chatted with Wang gongzi a few tizi has shown particular interest in chou, so it would be a huge waste not to exchange ideas Hahaha!"
Yang Zhao also swiftly reacted andthose words froenerals from the Southern Protectorate Manor were initially rather displeased by Wang Chong's rudeness, but they nodded in acceptance at the offered explanation
Wang Chong's father, Wang Yan, and eldest brother, Wang Fu, were both co to be interested in it as well, under their influence
As one of the great Protector-Generals of the echou on such zi hasn't really ventured out of the capital yet, so it's natural that you don't understandis situated on a plateau, and the path to Jiannan is dangerously steep, h it Not to mention, the Tibetans have never been to the Central Plains before, so they are unfamiliar with the forces and terrain here Unless there's so, it's iainst us"
"On top of that, Tibetans have a distinctive trait that sets the—their red faces Every single Tibetan who enters Great Tang through Jiannan has to undergo stringent checks Other than the cities along the Tea Horse Road, they are banned fro any other cities in the Central Plains Also, the population density in Ü-Tsang is very sparse,communication extremely inefficient as well To put it bluntly, even if the whole world knows that I aht still be a few years before the Tibetans learn of it," Zhangchou Jianqiong waved his fingers before Wang Chong and shter resounded from the various commanders seated in the room As elites fro the Ü-Tsang than anyone else
Wang Chong didn't say anything, but his brow inconspicuously furrowed darker, reflecting the deepening of his worry
"Of course, ould never base our defense on the ene the Southern Protectorate Manor for several decades now, and I can confidently tell you that it's no different from an infallible fortress All of the protocols are set in place such that the military can move even when I' elite ar is stationed there With those, what is there to fear even if the Tibetans were to head southward?" Zhangchou Jianqiong harruhty pride It was impossible for one to becoenerals in the e true capability
The reason why the southern border could enjoy more than a decade of relative peace wasn't just due to its advantageous terrain, nor luck It was based on true strength! And as the saying goes, “there are no weak soldiers under a strong co wouldn't tolerate any weaklings under hireatest fortification to the echou Jianqiong would be thinking like that!" Hearing Zhangchou Jianqiong's words, an indescribable emotion reripped Wang Chong
Without a doubt, Zhangchou Jianqiong was a formidable commander It wasn't a coincidence that his Annan could enjoy such a long period of peace
A coroup of well-trained co's capabilities
But even Zhangchou Jianqiong could have never iined that the catastrophe that would collapse the southwest and northwest of the einate frooverned!
His entire army of 180,000 elites would be completely wiped out!
The Southern Protectorate Manor would become the first Protectorate in history to be abolished due to a tragic defeat!
Our ancestors lie not; survive amidst hardship, die a’s caliber possesses this kind of negligent , whochou Jianqiong remain in Jiannan, but it seee itself!
Such thoughts surfaced in Wang Chong's chou Jianqiong had spoken these words with confidence, Wang Chong could tell that the latter was confident of his set-up in Annan
But thefelt disappointinating fros could be changed easily But at this moment, it suddenly struck hi went down as it did back then Regardless of whether it was Zhangchou Jianqiong or Xianyu Zhongtong lording over the Southern Protectorate Manor, the tragedy was unavoidable
Great Tang had been peaceful for too long This arrogance had not only seeped into the royal court, but the military as well
"Has lord ever considered the possibility of Ü-Tsang and Mengshe Zhao working together?" Wang Chong suddenly asked
As those words echoed in the surroundings, Zhangchou Jianqiong’s proud smile abruptly vanished, and everyone in the room immediately fell silent Should a pin drop at this moment, it would surely clamor loudly
Wrath surfaced in the eyes of those colared at Wang Chong
Wang Chong ht that those words were a joke, but to theed to, the place where their families were at This wasn't a matter they would allow anyone to jest about, not even in passing, not even Wang Chong
"Wang gongzi, don't you think your words are a little overboard?" the 's side spoke up
"Hehe, Wang gongzi, let's stop our discussion here Cos up
He was feeling very gloomy on the inside This sworn brother of his had always been a sharp and casual person Yet, for so up those useless but sensitivethe relationship between Zhangchou Jianqiong and the Wang Clan through this banquet; if this were to go on, the banquet ht have to end early, and everyone would disperse displeased
"Mengshe Zhao has just swept across Erhai and conquered the other five Zhaos With these victories laying down the groundwork, their e, is currently impassioned over his a's su is currently bulking up itsrown by 300,000 in recent years
"If they don't have ambitions, ould they expand their she Zhao If both sides were to ally together, ill happen to Annan?” Wang Chong asked as he gazed deeply at Zhangchou Jianqiong
Even before the renowned Southern Protector-General, Wang Chong had no thought of backing down at all The matter at Annan concerned an entire army of 180,000 soldiers, as well as countless innocent citizens Even if he had to risk incurring Zhangchou Jianqiong's wrath, he knew that he had to say these words
At the current moment, from the top to the bottom of the Southern Protectorate Manor, fro to the ordinary footsoldiers, no one had the slightest realization that danger was just lurking before them
At this moment, there must be a harsh voice to remind them of the threat they faced Otherwise, it would be too late by the tilad that heZhao by the Bluebottle Pavilion back then It was because of that chance encounter that he was given this chance
The reason why he rushed over there to attend this banquet instead of cultivating at the spirit vein wasn't to fawn on Zhangchou Jianqiong or pull over the commanders of the Southern Protectorate Manor over to his side What he wanted was an opportunity to speak before all of thechou Jianqiong's hostility
